Had a great experience. Although the weather prevented us from landing on the remarkables, we were able to land on another nearby mountain. Had our photo taken by the pilot. Amazingly breathtaking views and really friendly staff. I’d highly recommend this activity to anyone and would do it again.

Booking system was easy, the times and days I selected worked for the helicopter sight seeing trip and hydro attack boat ride. Did not have to argue with any one emails with e-tickets in inbox as promised. Would recommend gifting a voucher to a friend for them to use as they pleased worked well for us.

Fantastic scenery. Helicopter put us down on top of the Remarkables gave us ample time to take photos and assisted with taking photos as well. Well worth the time and money.

Website was very easy, and a team member even took the time to email me to make sure our schedule of activities would work smoothly.
Product rating:
The view was amazing and the staff was very nice. Only downside was that I really don't think the flight lasted 20 minutes. When you pay so much for only 20 minutes, you expect to get every second of that time, and I don't think we did.
Service rating:
Easy registration and communication
Product rating:
The landscape is marvelous from up there and the trip is very nice too.
The pilot was nice.
We felt it was a bit "chain tourism" though.

I had made an error on my dates and double booked myself which they picked up for me.

I only wish it could have been longer. Great views from the top of the Remarkables.

Service rating:
procedure worked very well. It was simple and straightforward. I am very happy to recommend the service to visitors to New Zealand.
Product rating:
Everything was handled efficiently and courteously. The trip itself was brilliant and the pilot was friendly and informative. We received a safety briefing before we left the office and this was reinforced by the pilot - gave us a great sense of security. I'm not sure if the pilot did this deliberately but each time I was sure we were about to slap against the peak he lifted the helicopter a bit more and we safely swept past and on taking off to return he sailed over what appeared to me to be a precipice and, while one girl in front screamed I at least saved my dignity by clining to my husband for dear life - for all the good that would have done me. Brilliant experience and would love to do it again.

Everything Travel Group Review
The Remarkables mountain is one of the most dramatic and stunning views around. From the landing point you can see for miles in a 360 degree view. Look back accross Queenstown to the houses and famous golf course - Kelvin Heights or the other way to some spectacular remote scenery, and the beautiful Lake Wakatipu. It's hard to believe you are only a short flight away from Queenstown.

Latest Questions about Helicopter Flight - Queenstown Panorama
Looking at doing a helicopter flight 3rd of Sept. Without the help of a crystal ball, would you say regarding the weather a morning or an afternoon flight is generally better? Cheers
Comments
Hi. Im so delighted to see your special price on heli-flights the remarkables, but broke my heat of the promo dates. We'll be in Queenstown on Dec 1-5, 2018 for our pre-wedding video and photo shoots. Any chances of promo extension? Or do u know any other specials on those dates. Cheers.
Comments
Heya, Thanks for your enquiry, The Remarkables special priced flight will still be running in December so you can book it in. If you have any problems with this please email us and we shall help.
May i know how much weight possible in one time?how height it will fly?
Hello, They do not inform us of the max weight of the helicopter but they do have a rough one. We need to inform them of your weights at the time of booking and they will arrange the helicopters accordingly. There is no real max weight limit for an individual they will just put less people on the heli. They fly up to the top of the Remarkables mountain which is 2319m.
can you take 6 people at the one time and will this price be ava in October 2018
Comments
Heya, Yes the helicopter can take 6 people. We will need the weights of the 6 people however as there is a weight limit. They do not tell us the weight limit as there are so many variables you just need to send in your weights and we can confirm whether its possible (it normally always is). Yes the price shown now is available in October.. just click book now, enter your date and it will confirm the price.
Do you still do a snow landing in April?
Comments
Heya, A snow landing is not guaranteed. It depends if there has been snowfall. We had some in March randomly but full snowfall is not expected until June.
Hi, my partner has a cast on his leg and is on crutches. Is it still possible to do this?
Comments
I have just spoken with the helicopter pilots and your partner is certainly able to do a scenic flight in Queenstown with his leg in a cast. The back door of the helicopter is quite wide and the pilot will take care helping your partner in and out of the heli. What date are you thinking of booking for?
Hi, my son is three years old. Is he able to come on the flight (can he sit on my lap)?
Thanks
Karina
Comments
Hi Karina, yes your 3 year old is welcome on the Remarkables Heli flight and will travel free of charge. Children under 4 are free however please note in the "additional information" field when you make your booking online that you have a 3 year old travelling with you.
Hi ,
Does your snow landing on the remarkables
operate late october ?- we will be in Queenstown 22-29 October .
Thanks
Comments
Hi Cleo. The Remarkables helicopter flight from Queenstown operates all year however it only lands in the snow when there is snow around during the winter months. In late October it is possible there will be snow on mountains but there are no guarantees unfortunately. If you do want a snow landing for sure then you can book the Cecil Peak snow landing helicopter flight that guarantees a snow landing all year.
HI
May i know what is the time for private charter heli flight in the morning and afternoon from central Queenstown ?
Thankyou
Comments
Hi Tan. We can organise a private helicopter charter in Queenstown for you any time during daylight hours. When you book online just mention in the 'additional information' field in the booking page which time you would prefer and we can organise to have you picked up from your accommodation.
Can we bring our 8month old on the helicopter flight?
Comments
Hi Angeline. Yes you can bring your 8 month old on the helicopter flight in Queenstown for free. Children under 4 years old travel for free on all helicopter flights in Queenstown. Just mention in the 'additional information' window when you book that you have an infant with you.
HI
I have a group of business people staying in Queenstown and they would like to do the Helicopter flight - 6 people on Wednesday 18th September - is this available. Also what would total cost be? Prefer morning if possible
Comments
Hi Kay. Yes it is possible to take your group of 6 people in the one helicopter on the Remarkables scenic helicopter flight in Queenstown so long as the combined weight for all 6 passengers does not exceed 480kg. There is currently space on the morning of the 18th September and return hotel transfers are also included in the price.
hi there, I am thinking of arranging this as a gift for my partners 40th. Can we take a beer up to enjoy once landed on the remarkables?
Thanks
Comments
Hi there Nic. Yes, if you book a scenic helicopter flight in Queenstown then you are more than welcome to bring a couple of bottles of beer or a bottle of champagne with you in a small bag. You won't be able to consume these in the helicopter but once you land on top of the Remarkbales mountain and disembark the helicopter you will have some time to take in the views and celebrate with a drink if you choose.
Hi, we will be in Queenstown from the 17th August for two weeks, Im just wondering how much is the 3.30 special? Will this be available in a couple of weeks? Thanks for your time
Comments
Hi Nicole. The 3.30pm Remarkables helicopter special is $135 per person and is available every day of the week all year. It is $90 cheaper than the standard price and is exactly the same flight and includes a landing on top of the Remarkables mountain range. It does often get booked up as it is very popular so I recommend booking sooner rather than later.
Hi there,
I am organising a trip for myself and 4 friends in Queenstown at the end of August, and would love to do a scenic flight! I noticed you offer a private charter service for NZ$568.00
Is this the same service as the Remarkables flight?
Thank you
Comments
Hi Russell. Yes the Remarkables helicopter charter flight is the exact same flight as the 20 minute Remarkables flight with a mountain landing except that you get the helicopter and pilot to yourselves. The helicopter can take up to 6 passengers (weight restrictions apply).
what happens if the weather is unsuitable for flying? Is the money refunded
Comments
Hi Chris. Yes absolutely, if your helicopter flight in Queenstown or any other activity you book via our website is cancelled for any reason then you can reschedule to another day or receive a full refund from us.
Are you flying today? I am enquiring about a flight for my 17 year old son, possibly at the 3.30pm special time.
Comments
Hi Karen,
Yes the flights are going, however the visibility is not very good at all due to the low cloud cover and rain.
Kind regards
Nigel Hobbs
Hi, could you tell me how many people can go on the flights please? Thanks.
Comments
Hi Katherine. Up to 6 passengers average size people can fit in each helicopter. The maximum laoding weight per helicopter is 480kgs (1000lbs) plus the pilot. If there are more than 6 passengers or the weight of the total group is too heavy then you can book a second helicopter.
What is the weight limit on the private helicopter charter?
Comments
Hi Briana. If you are booking a private helicopter flight in Queenstown then up to 6 passengers at an average of 80kgs each can go in the helicopter. So the max weight limit for everyone (except the pilot) is 480kgs.
MY daughter and her family are visiting Queenstown in May 2013. I would like to give them a voucher for a helicopter flight for their family of 2 adults and children aged 8,6 and 2. Would they be able to upgrade to a different flight if they so wished? Am I able to purchase a voucher without stipulating a day and time of flight?
Comments
Hi Pam. Yes absolutely. When you purchase a gift voucher for this Remarkbales scenic helicopter flight or any other activity it is open dated. The recipient can use the value of the gift voucher towards the cost of any activities listed on our websites, they don't have to do a helicopter flight. To book an open dated gift voucher for a specific activity on our website simply click on the Book Now button. Then check the box at the top that says "I want this to be an open dated gift voucher', follow the prompts and proceed to the Check Out page. We will then instantly email you the gift voucher.
Dear Sir
What is the difference between the 3.30 pm flight, heli flight and the private charter private flight for six?
If I book private charter heli flight for six, can I set at any time?
Annie
Comments
Hi Annie. The 3.30pm Special is exactly the same helicopter flight in Queenstown except that it operates at 3.30pm at a cheaper price. The Private Charter is the same flight also, it is just a cheaper option if you have a small group or if you wish to do a private flight with no other customers on board. The helicopters take u to 6 passengers so if there are 4 or more of you then it is cheaper to book a Private Charter flight than paying individually for single seats. If you book the Private Charter then you can request a preferred departure time.
hello we have a group of 17 people one being a three year old? do you do large group bookings?
we are going for a 50th birthday and would all like to be on top of the remarkables at the same time? Is this possible? the date would be the 2/10/2012 a morning booking?
Comments
Hi Lee,
Yes we can arrange large group bookings. The helicopter company you are looking at are specialists in moving large volumes of people so 17 in the morning will be no problem as they have many helicopters. The key to getting this organised will be booking in advance.
Hi there, how many people can go up at once , we are a family of 5 and would like to book a flight. Also would like to know what you recommend in regards to footwear. thanks.
Comments
Hi Lisa, 6 passengers can fit in the helicopter at once so there is a total of 7 with the pilot. In terms of footwear just something sturdy and comfortable is fine.
Hi I am planning on booking the helicopter flight for a present on an exact date. If the flight is cancelled due to weather etc. are we able to get a refund or do another activity? Thanks!
Comments
Hi Emma. Yes that is exactly right. If you book the Remarkables helicopter flight in Queenstown or any other activity and it is cancelled by the activity operator due to bad weather or for any other reason then you can reschedule to another day or receive a full refund from us.
Hi I was just wondering if there is a minimum number of passangers as I want to book a flight for my partner but don't want to go on the flight myself?
Comments
Hi Rebecca. Yes minimum numbers do apply for the helicopter to run for the Remarkalbes flight. It only requires 2 to confirm the trip though so it is still worth booking as more often than not there will be at least 2 people booked. If not you are entitled to a full refund or the option to reschedule for another day.
Hi, im flying into queenstown airport at 2.45pm on the 4/6/12, JQ223. Im interested in the 330pm special for 2 people.
Will it land on the ground during the helicopter flight And will the price include a shuttle bus back to queenstown ?
Comments
Hi Jeff. Yes the Remarkables Helicopter flight in Queenstown does include a landing on the Remarkables mountain range where you can get out of the heli and take pictures. During winter this is usually a snow landing! You will be dropped back into town or your hotel after your flight.
Hi
Does the private charter include the same tour as buying for one person? Does it include the Remarkables landing. We are coming to Queenstown late July and we have six people so am really interested in this package.
Thanks
Karen
Comments
Hi Karen, yes the private charter does do the same tour it just means you are paying for the whole helicopter rather than just one seat. If there are 6 of you wanting to do this trip then it is obviously far better to book the charter flight rather than booking your seats individually.

I am wanting to buy two Helecopter rides for a gift, we are likely to use them in June.
Do I need to purchase the tickets or can i buy a gift voucher of say $300 to go towards the flight
Comments
Hi Sue. You can buy a Gift Voucher for a certain dollar amount that the recipient can use towards the cost of any activities listed on our websites or you can purchase an open dated Gift Voucher for a specific activity. If you wish to purchase a specific dollar value then go the the Gift Voucher page on our site. If you prefer to book an open dated voucher for 2 helicopter flights then click "Book Now" on the Remarkables Helicopter Flight page and then select "I want this to be an open dated gift voucher".
Hi,
I would be thankful If you can let me know your opening and closing hours(winter and summer).Thanks.
Comments
Hi Aju, there is a specail that runs all year at the time of 3.30pm for the remarkalbes helicopter flight or else you can fly at anytime you choose within day light hours.
Hi,
I would like to know if snow landing is available at end of may. Thank you.
Comments
Hi Aju, it is quite possible that by the end of May there will be snow at the landing site on The Remarkables.
Is the private charter rate per person or altogether?
Comments
Hi Lisa the charter rate for the Remarakables Helicopter Flight is for the entire helicopter not per person.

93% of new customers that used Everything Queenstown to provide advice and securely book their Queenstown activities have let us know they've had a good or excellent experience with us. Thank you.
Thank you for your question about a helicopter flight - The Remarkables. It is advised to choose a morning departure, as this allows the operator to reschedule you to an afternoon departure incase the weather is bad.
